I looove Halloween! It started in childhood and no (for those of you who know me) it wasn't just the candy, though that was/is definitely part of the appeal. As a kid, my Mom made every holiday special and it was easily seen through her enthusiasm about all things Halloween. She made it special by decorating the house, creating awesome costumes, baking goodies, and trick or treating! This little vintage-looking skirt evokes those memories. With the many colors in the skirt - black, white, yellow, and several colors of orange, it's easy to add your own basics to create several different looks for school, parties, or just plain 'ole love of Halloween! It would be great as part of a costume, too. Here's a few ideas:
* Add black cape, pointed hat to be a witch.
* Add ared cape, white peasant blouse and a basket to be little red riding hood.
* Add bandana, peasant bouse, lots of jewelry to be a gypsy.
* Add ruffled blouse, eye patch, sword, bandana to be a girl pirate.
After Halloween, it makes for a fun dress-up item. With a generous length and elastic waist, it'll probably fit next Halloween, too. Watch for it in the shop soon. Can't wait? Email lynda@pinkchickadee.com and we'll get one stitched up for you!
